Subject: [Catalyst] query once per session? 

Hello, 

I'm wondering how I can get a query (that becomes a drop-down list for a
form field) set to execute only once and return the data from the client
side, or at least from memory, until the session ends.

I've set something up to filter results based on selection from a form, but
getting the list each and every time is too lengthy a process for a table
only updated once a day.

I've tried using Plugin::Catalyst::Cache, but the docs leave me clueless.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi,

If you are using the session plugins you can just assign some information to it in a similar way that you use the stash:

$c->session( some_stuff=>[qw/aaa bbb ccc/]);

If you are going to use this in lots of places you could write a model that accepted the current context to automatically do this for you.
